A Russian dissident leader - twice poisoned during his anti-Putin campaigning - has said crippling Western sanctions emptied food shelves
Vladimir Kara-Murza, who has survived two poisoning attempts during his activism, told LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr the repercussions for Putin's invasion of Ukraine has been "powerful" and "swift".
Speaking about the sanctions, he said: "The effect has been swift, and the effect has been powerful, I can tell you the last time I saw empty food shelves in shops in Moscow was as a child in the Soviet Union. He was in a work meeting in Moscow in May 2015 when he began to feel sick suddenly before he lost consciousness.
"What's really frustrating, and that's the mildest I can put it is the knowledge that had these targeted sanctions that we were calling for being imposed on Putin's core circle a decade ago, we would not be in a situation we are now in. "This already led it, this two decades of Western appeasement of Putin, already led us to a war in the middle of Europe. If Western leaders continue with this appeasement, there's no limit to what this can take us."
